Trenton High School said good-
bye to 73 of their students and
wished them only the best as
they entered the adult world.
Jennifer Hughes shared her
amazing singing voice as she
sang The National Anthem.
Mrs. Langford, Trenton High
Principal, addressed the seniors
with hopes that they will keep
their "smiles" through the good
times and tough times that lie
ahead. Mrs. Langford ex-
pressed her pride in this gradu-
ating class as half of them in-
tend to go on to college. Half of
this graduating class received
Bright Futures Scholarships and
the total dollar amount of schol-
arships being awarded to Tren-
ton seniors is $512,000. That is
something to be proud of!
As the Salutatorian Raymond
Hufford took the podium he
spoke of the "Funny things in

life that made our parents shake
their heads." He remembered
through his school years things
they had done in their "growing
experience." He remembered
the teachers they had and funny
times shared with each. As he
left the stage he wished to tell
the community "Thank you
Trenton for laying down the
foundation for our lives."
Samantha Bishop, this year's
Valedictorian, said she has high
hopes for her graduating class
and shared with them her hope
that they will always remember
to "Take time to stop and smell
the roses." She already under-
stands how busy "life" can be
and sometimes we miss the little
important moments in life. But
she explained that if you take a
few minutes to stop and look
around you can enjoy your life
everyday. Then she let every-
one know what the two most
important things in life are
"French fries and Mountain

Dew."
Our Superintendent of
Schools, Buddy Vickers, ad-
dressed the seniors and com-
mended them on how they had
endured all the changes they had
seen over the years from the
events of 9/11 to friends and
family members going off to
one or possibly two gulf wars.
This class has seen changes
within the school district itself
and they survived the FCAT;
He went on to educate them on
the many obstacles they will see
in the future, from higher taxes
brought on by "baby boomers"
to additional challenges within
local and big government.
"Change" is one thing that stays
the .same, throughout time
things will always change, how
you change with time is up to
you.
To the graduates of 2005 we
wish each and every one of you
only the best! Congratulations!

On Friday, May 27, 2005 Bell
High School held their 2005
Graduation Ceremony. This
year marked a record year for
Bell High and Gilchrist County
as they graduated 102 students
which is a record for both the
school and the county. As Prin-
cipal Buddy Schofield spoke to
the graduating seniors he com-
mended them for all they have
done. He also recognized that
one out of three graduates had
received Bright Futures Schol-
arships. The seniors allowed
Mr. Schofield one more duty as
he retrieved the bouncing beach
balls a few had brought to
graduation.
As Salutatorian, Sam Fowler,

spoke about being "Alive." She
had created a lively poem hon-
oring their teachers and how
much they had meant to every-
one through the years. Mary
Callahan, Valedictorian, gave a
tearful speech thanking her
family, God and teachers for all
they had done for her. She ex-
pressed the hope that all seniors
would keep God in their hearts
as they go into the world tomor-
row.

Our Superintendent of
Schools, Buddy Vickers, ad-

Gilchrist County Honors Sgt. Ricky Lord

And All Veterans In "Let Freedom Ring"

Memorial Day Program On Monday

By: John M. Ayers
"Let Freedom Ring" was the
theme of the Memorial Day
program held on May 30th in
Trenton. Residents and visitors
of Gilchrist County came
together under the shade of the
live oak trees on the south side
of the Gilchrist County
courthouse to honor the
veterans from this area that have
given their lives in the
preservation of freedom for all
Americans. The Gilchrist
County Historical Society also
dedicated a new monument
during the Memorial Day
program.
The new monument reads:
To all who have fallen, served
and are serving: our deepest
thanks for preserving the Godly
heritage that sustains us. God
bless America Memorial Day
2005. In Memory of Sgt. Ricky
Lord, USMC killed in action
August 18, 2004.
Dan Taylor, a member of the
Gilchrist Historical Society,
welcomed the crowd estimated
at 350. The program paid a
special tribute to a Gilchrist
County hero and native son,
Sgt. Ricky Lord was killed
August 8, 2004 while on active
duty in Iraq.
J.M. Everett, the president of
the Gilchrist Historical Society
explained that Sgt. Lord gave
his life in the Iraq Freedom
War. "He gave his life so that
you and I can live a free life,"
Mr. Everett explained. This was
Sgt. Lord's second tour of duty
in Iraq. One might ask why he
was willing to return a second
time and put his life on the line.
Sgt. Lord explained to his
family, "If we don't stop them,
there will be another 9/11."
Sgt. Lord understood the real
problem.
Mr. Everett further stated,
the United States Assistant
Secretary of State said they had
nuclear scientist that knew how
to make a bomb in Iraq. They
had enough anthrax powder to
kill ten million people. So yes,
they were going to unload on
the United States. Sgt. Lord and
many others are fighting to stop
this threat to the United States
and the world.
Sgt. Lord's parents: Ricky
Lord and Karen Latham were
each presented a plaque in
appreciation for what their son
did for his country.
"It is hard to put into words
or even imagine what Sgt. Lord

Trenton. From left are John Norval, childhood friend; Ronnie Underdahl, Vince

Jim Troke of Trenton is shown standing between the grave markers of Sergeant Robert
J. Niland and 2nd Lieutenant Preston T. Niland at a cemetery in Normandy. On June
9, 1941 Mrs. Niland received a "missing in action" telegram stating that her son
Eddy had been shot down over Burma on May 16th. Then ten days later she received
two telegrams within a half an hour of each other saying that her son Robert had been
killed oh D-Day and that another son, Preston, had been killed the day after. Her
youngest son, Fritz, 101t Airborne, was fighting near Carentan during this time. The
Divisional Chaplain, Father Simpson, wanted him to demobilize and return to New
York to be with his mother but according to Fritz's daughter, he finished his tour of
duty in Normandy until relieved on July 8th. Both Fritz and his brother Eddy had
survived the war. These event inspired .the fictional narrative for the movie Saving
Private Ryan.

What

America

Means

To Me
By Sarah Bishop
Across the classroom sits the

valedictorian, diligently work-
ing to accomplish great things
in both academics and life.
Across the county stands a local
farmer, sweating in the heat as
he prays for a better crop than
last. Across the nation preaches
a young youth pastor, desper-
ately trying to make tomorrow a
better place for the young.
Across the world fights an

American soldier, trying to give
the gift of freedom to a dying
civilization.
As the sun slowly rises from
the horizon, I am refreshed to
think of the clean slate before
me. Each day means a new
chapter in my life and each
chapter brings forth new op-
portunities for success and hap-
piness. I am blessed to live in

such a country where men and
women are treated equally,
where success isn't defined by
age or race, where the religious
aren't martyred, and the future
of the nation stands firm in its
belief to keep the hope of our
forefathers living memorials.
Freedom. Other nations can

People spend a lifetime

makes sense to protect or at

ity.
People are not fearful
enough about a terrorist at-
tack or a natural disaster and
the damage to their lives and
community that could hap-
pen. Perhaps they should be
frightened out of their wits,
but apparently not. The
9/11-commission report says
we are not safe yet. Despite
all this, only two out of ten
people in this country feel
"very prepared," according to
the American Red Cross, for
a catastrophic event.
Only half of parents polled
admitted that they knew the
emergency plans of their
child's school. The number
of people who know the
emergency preparedness
plans at their job is also
about half. The number of

people have a bias towards

"it won't happen to me"
rather than considering the
consequences of "what if it

Ayers Health And
Rehab Center News
Ayers Health and Rehabilita-
tion Center has been a part of
this community for the past 23
years. Over time we have been
able to provide quality care to
residents in our area. We have
had the opportunity to get to
know many families and it has
certainly improved the quality
of our lives as well. Through
the years, our focus on different
types' of care generally comes
from the needs of our local
population. Our goal is to pro-
vide the best type of care that is
required in a close, relaxed,
friendly en ironment.
,We continue to ha'e folks
stay with us for long term care,
we have a special needs unit for
residents %%ith Dementia or re-
lated concerns and we have our
rehabilitation program that is
our busiest department these
days. We are seeing many
younger folks, age 65 to 80,
come our way for short term re-
habilitation. Our team of thera-
pists enjoy what they do and are
very qualified by their education
and training.
-Pearl Grant, a recent short
term resident who was here for
rehab, was amazed at some of
the results she had seen in just
two weeks. Pearl states, "I've
had therapy in several different
places o'e.r the \ears and _A ers
therapists have my greatest ad-
miration and praise. They make
ou feel like part of familyy"
Dorothy Roberts, another
special local resident, was also
here for a short stay and she
"appreciates the friendliness of
everybody" and it was encour-
aging for her to work with the
therapy department in her goal.
to go home.
Many folks think that a rehab
center is something they will
never need and dor't realize that
the decision to select one some-
times comes very quickly.. Be-
ing prepared for this decision is
your best opportunity for
choosing a great place. Take
the time to visit your local cen-
ters and be prepared if you need
our type of center., The resi-
dents',will appreciate your visit
and you can get a feel for the
place. None of us will be able to
avoid the aging process, but
being able to guide our fate and
having fun while we do is cer-
tainly the best avenue to take.

probably get bit by the heat. To
help stop heat's effect on those
who find themselves in its path,
Lake City Community College
(LCCC) chapter of Florida As-
sociation of Community Col-
lege (FACC) sponsored an in-
formative mini-workshop on
extreme heat and what it can do
tO our body

Attendees were shown a
Po'werPoint demonstration 'on
the different aspects of heat ex-
posure and how to cool down
,when you get too hot. .The main
message in the first workshop
conducted by Alan Espinosa,
LCCC EMS instructor, was to
know the symptoms of heat ex-
posure and what to do when you
find yourself or someone else it
this situation.
In the second workshop Espi-
nosa discussed potentially dan-
gerous drug interactions with
ordinary food and with other
over-the-counter medications.

good resource to find out infor-
mation about reactions that can
occur when taking prescription

drugs and every day living.

Oh, the comfort, the inex-
pressible comfort of feeling safe
with a person, having neither to
weigh thoughts nor measure
words, but pouring them all out,
just as they are, chaff and grain
together, certain that a faithful
hand will take and sift them,.
keep what is worth keeping, and
with a breath of kindness blow
the rest away.

FANTASTIC FACTS
The name "hoe-cake" came
about because in pioneer homes
this Indian corn bread was often
baked on the broad thin blade of
the hoe used in the cotton fields.
Flowers and plants are a silent

presence; they nourish every
sense except the ear...
RIB TICKLERS
Sounds of crashing and
banging in the middle of the
night sent me and my husband
out to our garage. There we
spotted three raccoons eating
out of the cat dish. We shooed
them away and went back to
bed. Later that week we were
driving home and I noticed three
fat raccoons ambling down the
road. "Do you think those are
the same ones we chased off?" I
asked.
"Hard to tell," said my hus-
band. "They were wearing
masks."
Our son was constantly wan-
dering in and out of the house,
leaving the front or back door
wide open.
"Once and for all, will you
please close that!" my exasper-
ated wife pleaded one day.
"Were you born in a barn?"
"No, I was born in a hospi-
tal," he replied, smirking.
"With automatic doors."
One weekend, a doctor, a
priest and an attorney were out
in a fishing boat. Their motor
had conked out and one of the
oars had drifted off. Just as the
doctor was about to dive in to
retrieve the oar, the boat was
surrounded by sharks.
'"I can't go now," the doctor
said. "If someone gets bitten,
you'll need my services."
"I can't go either," said the
priest. "If the doctor fails, I'll
need to give last rites."
"Fine," said the attorney.
"I'll get it." He dove in, the
sharks moved, he retrieved the
oar and climbed back into the
boat. The doctor and priest
looked flabbergasted. The at-

QUIET REFLECTIONS
Spring Thoughts
The poets have exhausted all.the
lovely words they know
To write about the glories of the
spring;
But never can their thoughts run
dry, but only overflow,
When they describe the joys
that May must bring:
The primrose fair, the skylark
on the wing!
Whose mind can fail to frame a
tune, or soul reject a song,

When buds are bursting to ex-
press their praise
Of Him who gives them love
and light and life, and tells them
they belong
To His great purpose all their
growing days?
What else but wonder every
creature phrase?
For, in the spring, not only
trees, nor just the buds and
birds,
Reveal His benefactions and
His grace;
But human spirits, looking up,
know that He undergirds
Their lives, and all that they
must daily face;
And in His love find their eter-
nal place!
By E. Leslie Wood
I'll leave you with this
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
This day is holy unto our
Lord: neither be ye sorry; for
the joy of the Lord is your
strength.

At The Library
Three Rivers Regional Li-

Club' meeting in conjunction
with the Florida Library Youth
Program (FLYP) for Teens. The
book selected for reading is
Jackaroo by Cynthia Voigt.
Jackaroo is the story of a young
heroine named Gwyn, who lives
in an imaginary time similar to
the middle ages. Known simply
as the Innkeeper's Daughter,
Gwyn has no identity and only
two options for the future:
Marry and become her hus-
band's wife, or stay single and-
serve her younger' brother.
When hard times befall the
Kingdom, Gwyn dons the cos-
tume of Jackaroo, a mysterious
figure who travels the land
leaving coins for the destitute
and saving the wrongly accused
from hanging. While this is a
book with a strong female lead
character, it is suitable for both

male and female readers. The
library has five copies available
for checkout between now and
the date of the book club meet-
ing which is Thursday, June 161h
at 1:00 p.m. at the Gilchrist

to have read the book before
attending, but that is not a re-
quirement. The program is in-
tended for students in grades six
through twelve.

2004 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
City of Fanning Springs
17651 NW 90th Court
Fanning Springs, FL 32693
We're pleased to present to you this year's Annual Water Quality Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and de-
pendable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Fanning
Springs well draws from the Floridan Aquifer. The current active well being used is located by the Kik-A-Ha Subdivision.
The Department of Environmental Protection has performed a Source Water Assessment on our system and a search of the data sources indicated no potential sources of contamination near our well. The assessment results are available
on DEP Source Water Assessment and Protection Program website at http://www.dep.state.fl.us/swapp.
We are pleased to report that our drinking water meets all federal and state requirements.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact our Water Manager, Mr. Doyle Frierson at 352-463-2855. We encourage our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you
want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held on the first Tuesday of every month at 5:00 P.M. at the Cityof Fanning Springs Assembly Hall.
The City of Fanning Springs routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws, rules and regulations. Except where indicated otherwise, this report is based on the results of our monitoring
for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2004. Data obtained before January 1, 2004, and presented in this report are from the most recent testing done in accordance with the laws, rules, and regulations.
In the table below you may find unfamiliar terms and abbreviations. To help you better understand these terms, we've provided the following definitions:
Maximum Contaminant Level or MCL: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal or MCLG: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
Action Level(AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow.
Maximum residual disinfectant level or MRDL- The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
Maximum residual disinfectant level goal or.MRDLG: The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs to not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control mi-
crobial contaminants.

Parts per million (ppm) or Milligram per liter (mg/l): One part by weight of analyte to 1 million parts by weight of the water sample.
Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (pg/l): One part by weight of analyte to 1 billion parts by weight of the water sample.
Picocurie per liter (pCi/) measure of the radioactivity in water.

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through'the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring
minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
(A) Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.
(B) Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic waste water discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
(C) Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses.
(D) Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and sep-
tic systems.
(E) Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish
limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More infor-
mation about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
Thank you for allowing us to continue providing your family with clean, quality water this year. In order to maintain a safe and dependable water supply, we sometimes need to make improvements that will benefit all of our customers.
These improvements are sometimes reflected as rate structure adjustments. Thank you for understanding.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immune-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ trans-
plants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC
guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
We at The City of Fanning Springs would like you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to insuring the quality of your water. If you
have any questions or concerns about the information provided, please feel free to call any of the numbers listed.

The American Legion is a nationally chartered Veteran Ser ice
Organization. Like the VFW, it is a 'wartime veterans organization'
and the dates for eligibility are set by Congress. For the Amencan
Legion, eligibility requires at least ONE DAY' orf active duty in the
US Armed Forces during one of the 'eras' set forth by Congress. The
WWI era is from April 6, 1917 November 11, 1918. The WWII era
is from December 7, 1941 December 31, 1946. The Korean era is
June 25, 1950 January 31, 1955. The Vietnam era is from February
28, 1961 May 7,.1975. The Grenada era is from August 24. 1982 -
July 31, 1984. The Panama era is from December 20. 19S9 January
31, 1990, From August 2, 1990, "until the cessation of hostilities' as
determined by the US Government, is the latest 'era'. If you or
someone you know served at least one day on active duty during
theses' eras, and if they are interested in working for the veteran, the.
community and the youth in our communities, come see us in the
American Legion. We have programs for many different hands to
work for a common goal. The Post 91 family includes the American
Legion Auxiliary, the Sons of the American Legion and the
American Legion veterans, all working to make it better for
America's veterans and their families.
Remember our Armed Forces all over the world every day in your
thoughts and prayers. Here at home, watch over our Legionnaires,
veterans, widows and the families of those called to active duty,
helping out however and whenever you can.

Everett explained. "I myself
was in the Korean War. We will
never forget the difficult times
they endured while serving our
country, so that the United
States will remain free," Mr.
Everett explained.
I know that everyone here
understands the situation
involving war, and that is great.
It is rewarding to know that the
people that are here today do
care. Thanks to all of you for
your wonderful support. Thanks
to God and our Country. May
our prayers be with the families
that have lost loved ones
fighting in wars," Mr. Everett
added. "May our Lord give
these .families comfort and
peace in the days ahead. In the

hath no man than this that a man
lay down his life for his

held here on Memorial Day.
A Gilchrist County native
son, Harold Mikell addressed
the crowd and thanked the
county for again having this
annual tribute to the veterans on
this Memorial Day. "This type
of program doesn't happen
every where on this day to
honor our veterans," he

explained.
"War is complicated,"
Mikell explained. In World War
II, every manufacture in the
United States stopped producing
their retail sales material and
began producing things that
were needed to fight the war.
"Now in the 21st century,
things are different," Mikell
explained. "Today the people of

this country might not be
thinking of our soldiers that are
fighting a war of freedom on
foreign soils," he added. Mikell
explained that the people in this
country need to be more
mindful and keep the soldiers
that are fighting for our freedom
in their daily prayers.
Mikell, a veteran of World
War II paid tribute to twelve of
Gilchrist Counties native sons
that gave their lives in World
War II. Cary Hardee, Edward G.
May, Leslie Oder, Mason
"Hugh" Sanders, Howard J.
Poke, Irving W. Osteen, Wilbur
L. Smith; John C. Thomas,
Gilbert Green, Elmer Swilley,
Lillian Crocker, and Harry M.
Wilson. Mr. Mikell explained
that each of these heroes' names
is imprinted on the World War
II monument.
"The people that are here
today represent the best of the
best," Dan Taylor explained.
"We want everyone here today
to leave this Memorial Day
program with a new
commitment to keep our service
people in mind and in prayer,"
he added "We have the greatest
country in the world. America
has been successful in the war
for freedom because America is
a country that seeks Gods
wisdom," Taylor explained.
"This country must continue a
love of freedom and following
of God," Taylor explained.
"What works in America will
work for the world," Taylor

explained.

One Year Forestry
Program At Lake
City Community
College
Kurt Havird, instructor, for-
estry operations program at
Lake City Community College
Lake City Community Col-
lege (LCCC) has developed a
one-year Forestry program, For-
est Operations, to allow students
quicker job placement in the
Forest industry. This new "ca-
reer in one year" will allow stu-
dents an entry level professional
diploma in less than one year of
college and the option to pursue
an associate in science (A.S.)
degree if desired. The new For-
est Operations curriculum will
begin in the fall semester
(August 2005). The classes will
be held Monday through Thurs-
day in the fall and spring se-
mester, and three weeks of
summer A term (Monday
through Thursday). The new
Forest Operations program is
only available at Lake City
Community College.
All courses in the new one-
year Forest Operations curricu-
lum will be subject specific. No
general education classes will
be required unless the student
tests into preparatory general
education classes. Enrolled stu-
dents will be trained for numer-
ous forestry careers with public,
private, and government agen-
cies involved with managing the
nation's natural resources. As
part of the Forest Operations
program students will cover ca-
reer disciplines such as fire sci-
ence,' timber cruising, silvicul-
ture, timber harvesting, forest
insects, forest diseases, tree
identification, aerial photogra-
phy,. reforestation, land meas-
urements, and timber procure-
ment. Each class will be
explored with hands-on labora-
tories in each of the disciplines.
Those students interested in
applying to the Forest Opera-
tions program will be required
to have completed a regular
high school diploma or have a
general education diploma
(GED), be 16 years of age or
older, and complete the SAT,
ACT, or CPT test.
For those students who desire
an associate in science degree,
non-forestry academic courses
would be completed in the op-
tional second-year sequence.
LCCC plans to develop a 60
credit hour associate in science
degree in Agribusiness Tech-
nology which will begin in
.August 2006 and have the 27
credit hours from the new For-
est Operations certificate trans-
fer to the associate in science in
Agribusiness Technology de-
gree.
Lake City Community Col-
lege has continued to develop
innovative programs for the for-
est industry since the Forestry
school's inception in 1947.
LCCC, the Forestry faculty, and
the forest industry advisory
board anticipates that this "ca-
reer in one year" forestry cur-
riculum will be "tree-rific" and
continue to "grow" with the in-
dustry's changing demands.
LCCC celebrates 58 years of
continuing education excellence

in 2005. The college had its be-
ginnings in 1947 as the Colum-
bia Forestry School (CFS) on
the present LCCC campus. It
served the needs of returning
World War II veterans and the
increasing skilled employee
demands of area forest indus-
tries. The CFS utilized struc-
tures that remained from a
World War II era air base. In
1962, when the State of Florida
created Lake City Junior Col-
lege and Forest Ranger School
on the campus of the Columbia
Forestry School, the college be-
came one of 28 two-year insti-
tutions envisioned in the state of

Florida's- master community
college plan. In 1970, the inclu-
sion of "Community" in the
college's title emphasized the
broad spectrum of transfer and
occupational programs offered
at Lake City Community Col-
lege.
The Forest Operations Pro-
gram strives to produce a moti-
vated, knowledgeable, skilled
forest technician who meets the
employment needs of the forest
industry.
Current job demand is very
strong for graduates who cruise
timber, supervise harvesting and
reforestation crews for contrac-
tor compliance, utilize pre-
scribed fire, and work in many
other disciplines within the pro-
fession.
The program is structured to
meet the needs of the students in
the college's five-county district
(Columbia, Dixie, Union, Gil-
christ, and Baker counties), and
to meet the educational and
training needs of the forest in-
dustry within these areas. Al-
though Forest Operations stu-
dents come from outside the
five-county district and often
are employed in other counties,
the objectives of the school and
program are consistent with the
needs of the forest industry, es-
pecially in the Southeastern
United States where the major-
ity of the graduates are em-
ployed.
So if it's quicker job place-
ment in the forest industry that
is of main interest to you or the
ability to further your training
and secure an.associate in sci-.
ence degree in this field, then
Lake City Community College
Forest Operations program is
just what you're looking for.
The choice is up to you. LCCC
is constantly striving to produce
programs that meet the student's
needs.

Devil's Hammock
WMA Is A Peaceful
Setting For Hiking,
Horseback Riding
By Stacey Brown
Levy County has a secret:
The Devil's Hammock Wildlife
Management Area (WMA).
This pristine 7,635-acre tract of-
fers activities for every taste,
from hunting, hiking, and
horseback riding to photography
and birdwatching. The man-
agement area runs from the
north at Blue Springs in Bron-
son (including Little Blue
Spring) and encompasses the
spring shed from the headwaters
of the Waccasassa River and
Otter Creek. 'Blue Springs is a
second-magnitude spring and
for only $1.00 each, you can
bring the kids to swim. You are
also welcome to bring a picnic.
Blue Spring is accessible off
U.S. Alt-27 down CR 339-A,
just two miles west of Bronson.
Little Blue Spring is not suitable
for swimming but you can fish
or just sit on the platform and
enjoy the beautiful atmosphere.
River otters, king fishers and
ings.

The Wild Hog Canoe &
Kayak Race, held in April, uses
the Waccasassa River from the
put-in at the bridge on SR 24 to
the bridge at US 19, and this
year the canoeists and kayakers
had high water and did not have
to portage too much. Boating
access is available at Fisher
Bridge Road (accessible from
Andrews Road), at the River
Camp (with vehicle access
along SR 24 just before the
Waccasassa River bridge), and
at the Waccasassa River bridge
on SR 24. There are many
parking places along the
limerock roads where the WMA
is marked with signage. Cur-
rently, small tributaries of the
rivers are flowing over the roads
in some spots but are easily
traversed with a pick-up truck.

According to the Florida Fish
and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC), camping is
prohibited during periods open
to hunting, and is restricted to
designated sites by group
camping permit only from the
Levy County Commission dur-
ing periods closed to hunting.
